June 25, 2014 | Sketches [00-49] | Everywhere |

Where: | Sketches [00-49] |
Announcing the release of my first book, Sketches [00-49]. The pages are filled with abstract images or “sketches” created from code. After experimenting with the computer software Processing, I choose my favorite fifty images and share them with the world. The primitive points, lines, and shapes are a departure from my typical work, which is primarily composed of concrete photographic images. After years of partnership with contemporary choreographer Pauline Jennings, her work rubbed off on me. Her dances are abstract, complex, and incorporate shifting shapes and patterns. Processing allowed me to attempt emulating her dynamic movement style. Computation also played an important role in this work. Similar to Ms. Jennings’ mathematical approach to choreographing bodies in space, I used math to coordinate shapes and color onscreen. Thus, all images in this book were created by text instructions. Visualizing and realizing these sketches had surprising similarities to using tools such as a pen and paper. I doodled, observed, critiqued, redrew or threw-out dozens of Processing sketches before just one seemed to appeal to my aesthetic sensibility. Sketches 00-49 was an experiment in manipulating data to make images both simple and complex, organized and messy, and strict and playful. Art and code unites these elements in my creative process. |

Announcing the release of Luminosity but sometimes Troll. This is an experimental electronic composition created for the contemporary dance work 6 Phrases, 3 Rules by choreographer Pauline Jennings. As is true with much of Jennings’ choreography, the movement is abstract while the choreography is generated through human adherence and interpretation of set rules. Thus, I approached the music by first taking a sample of a saxophone and used granular synthesis to extract and loop six segments of the audio file. The result was a pulsing and ambient master track. I then incorporated a vocal track of trolls “speaking”. The combination was intended to bring a rough and stochastic quality of trolls to the rhythmic nature of the granular sounds; thus mimicking the quality of Jennings’ movements and choreographic forms. |

Where: | soundcloud for feedback[1-5] playlist |
This is an announcement of the release of Feedback [1-5], a number of sonic experiments with feedback I created in 2008. Feedback and harsh noise was in the forefront of my mind after living with fellow Mills College graduate David Holton. He would spend all day hunched over a Mackie mixer configuring aux send and receives to master the signal flow. Not only was it inspiring to see someone so dedicated to their craft, the sonic result was extraordinary. Witnessing Dave inspired me to investigate feedback within the computer. I used Reason, Max/MSP, and an Oxygen 8 MIDI controller. I started by looping one output back into an input and adjusted sends and receives on a virtual mixing board. First with one channel, then with two, three, etc.. Eventually, I added basic processing (effects) to the channels. Every sound is purely digital from within the machine. After I updated my OS, these feedback works became dead. I did not update my copy of Reason, my Max patches were lost and I never reconfigured my MIDI mapping. Maybe this is the nature of working with electronic sound; it is ephemeral. However, the memory of creating these improvisations remain. I was sitting in a hot dorm room at Amherst College, my headphones on, twisting knobs, observing the audio meters pegged into the red. It was the summer, it was sweaty, it was the perfect environment for creating some noise. Years later (it is now 2014) I stumbled upon these feedback recordings on an old external drive. I selected five tracks and left the others stored away; most likely to obscurity. This is a compilation of those recordings. |

Encrypted Trajectory is DOUBLE VISION’s newest full-evening dance work featuring emergent choreography by Pauline Jennings and live sound by Sean Clute. In Encrypted Trajectory, five dancers navigate a framework of rule-based systems in a shared mission of discovery and survival. Throughout their struggle, dancers will be testing societal structures of leadership and rebellion through fleeting coalitions. Jennings’ movement is often evocative of abstract dreamscapes while Clute processes environmental soundscapes of outer space, earthquakes, oceans and the womb. Lighting design by Jan Herder will transmit monochromatic beams and costumes by Amy Nielson will contribute a surreal layer to the work. DOUBLE VISION, a Vermont based intermedia performance group, will include collaborations with choreographer Pauline Jennings, sound by Sean Clute, costumes by Amy Nielson, lighting by Jan Herder and dancers Jennifer Mellor, Hanna Satterlee, Ellen Smith-Ahern, Avi Waring and Willow Wonder. |
